The Triceps Pushdown is a very good exercise both for the warm-up of the elbow and triceps joints, and for the development of these muscles.
Triceps pushdowns (also known as pulley traction), is a perfect exercise to be used at the end of training, as it isolates the triceps, especially the side heads.
As a result, they can stimulate all three triceps muscles with good maximum contraction.
Now, this is an exercise that we will not be able to perform as part of a home routine since more equipment is needed to use it; but luckily in most gyms it is available.
So, if you find it interesting and have not yet carried it out, ask your trainer about the possibility of including it in your gym routine.
HOW TO MAKE TRACTION WITH PULLEY FOR TRICEPS?
This is a basic exercise for the triceps, which stimulates the three heads that form the thickness of the upper arm.
In this movement it is necessary to perform the push down the triceps with a rope, a bar, or a handle. In each case, the basic principle is the same. The elbow acts as a pivot and should not move anywhere.
How to make the Traction with Cable for Triceps?
- Stand in front of the sheaves equipment and block the lumbosacral area of the spine.
- Grasp the cable with a neutral grip with both hands.
- Pull this down, while maintaining control of movement, and keeping your elbows in a position close to your body until you achieve full muscle tension.
- At the end of the movement, you can stretch the cable while moving each hand to the side in order to stimulate the triceps to the maximum.
TIPS FOR PULLEY TRACTION
Remember to use the proper weight and keep the cable tension constant. The cable should move smoothly, without sharp pulls.
Look for your body to remain completely immobile throughout the development of the exercise. Even the angle of the spine must remain parallel to the direction of the cable.
It is very important to prevent the elbows from moving sideways. In turn, you should avoid shrinking or rounding your shoulder. and finally avoid leaning back.
We hope that this exercise has been of interest to you, it really is a movement that helps a lot in the development of the triceps, it only requires our maximum concentration to maintain the proper technique.
